Israel Helps India Establish Backup Power

[SajeevJino]

India has turned to Israel to prevent the
type of power outage which left close to
6oo million people without power for
many days last July.

According to Times of
Israel, an Israeli company called SDE is
going to build power plants similar to
ones they have built in China which will
provide electricity with power from
waves, along the Indian coastline.

A delegation of Indian businessmen visited
Tel Aviv last week to sign the agreements
for the plants which will provide backup
power for the country.

SDE's technology uses buoys in the water
that bob up and down as waves move
towards the shore. This creates pressure
on a hydraulic system that operates an
electric generator.

India has over 4,000 miles of coastline so
this system will provide very high
amounts of power for the country.

Indian
officials indicate that the areas where the
plants are being built will most likely
make use of the plants as their primary
power source since it is half the price as
the power produced by India's other
power sources.

What per centum of India's power would be provided by such a system. Was the blackout due to to lack of electrical production or a fault in the power grid?

it was actually due to a high power grid failure and hence the whole of north india and east india suffered!

oh buoy, here we go again. small, decentralized systems like this will not help bridge the gap that exists. nuclear is the only energy intensive yet clean solution that india has. wake up!
